On routes between Saudi Arabia and Italy via Singapore, Singapore Airlines generally applies the weight concept. In Economy Class, you can usually check in at least 25 kg of baggage; in Premium Economy Class, higher allowances typically apply; and in Business Class, you usually enjoy an even more generous checked baggage limit. All customers may also bring cabin baggage within size and piece limits depending on cabin class. Exact allowances can vary by fare type and KrisFlyer status, so please refer to your ticket details or our baggage policy before you travel.

Wi-Fi is available on most Singapore Airlines flights from Riyadh to Italy once the aircraft reaches above 10,000 feet. KrisFlyer members enjoy free, unlimited Wi-Fi, including in Economy Class and Premium Economy Class, when their membership number is added to the booking at least 1.5 hours before departure. Non-members and those without qualifying bookings can purchase Wi-Fi plans on board. The connection is ideal for messaging, email, and basic browsing, but it does not support video streaming, video calls, or large file transfers.

On the Riyadh–Singapore–Italy routes, you can travel in Business Class or Economy Class on the Riyadh–Singapore sector, and Business Class, Premium Economy Class, or Economy Class between Singapore and Rome or Milan. Cabin configurations may vary slightly between aircraft, but all cabins are designed to provide comfort and thoughtful service for your journey.

In Economy Class, you can expect a seat pitch of about 32 inches with up to 19 inches of seat width. Premium Economy Class, available on the Singapore–Italy sectors, offers around 38 inches of pitch and up to 20 inches of seat width. In Business Class on the Airbus A350-900, you enjoy a fully flat bed with generous personal space and direct aisle access from every seat. Cabin layouts can differ slightly by route, but these measurements give a good guide to the legroom you can expect.

Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers at layover airports on connections to Italy.

On your journey to Italy, you will connect at Singapore Changi Airport. For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and enjoy indoor gardens, quiet rest areas, shower facilities, family zones, and a wide selection of dining and shopping. If you have a longer connection and sufficient time, you may be able to join an official transit tour of Singapore, subject to eligibility and timing, or relax at an airport hotel within the terminal. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

Riyadh operates on Arabia Standard Time (UTC+3) all year. Italy, including Rome and Milan, follows Central European Time (UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (UTC+2) from late March to late October. This means Italy is typically 2 hours behind Riyadh in winter and 1 hour behind in summer.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to your final destination in Italy when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Italy, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
